Chapter 371 Parting
Chapter 371 Parting
The rebellion of Li Ai, Duke of Huang, who had lived in Jiangzhou for a long time, has received the latest explanation today, many years later.
The hat on the head of Light Cavalry Commander Xue Qinglin was finally taken off after so many years.
Lin Yongzhong, who finally had a sip of meat porridge in his spare time, burst into tears. This scene puzzled the officials who came to convey Mi Qing's order.
He will never know how many people in Jiangzhou insulted him when Light Cavalry Commander Xue Qinglin became Pingnan Marquis Xue Qinglin eleven years ago.
Those people said that Xue Qinglin was a bastard. He actually disregarded the friendship between old friends and went to frame his good friend. Isn't he a pure evildoer? It's a miracle that he still has the nerve to live.
Today, eleven years later, the son of the old friend used his ability to reveal the truth of the case. Not only did he overturn the verdict, but he also restored Xue Qinglin's reputation.
In the future, when Li Cunxi gained power and he changed back to his original name Xue Qinglin, the whole world would know how much he had endured in order to avenge his wife, children, and old friends.
Lin Yongzhong wiped away his tears, lowered his head and drank up the meat porridge stained with tears.
Kui Wenzhong and his companions who were having dinner in the back hall were also very excited when they heard from the evil spirit that Wu Zetian's imperial edict had come down. After listening to the details, they all showed joy on their faces and began to discuss when to leave.
They are still a member of the Snake Spirit. Even though they are tied to a warship with Li Cunxi, they must not be exposed now. They still have to go back and contribute to Li Cunxi's future control of the Snake Spirit and prove their abilities.
"It's a pity that you are leaving so soon." Mo Ling sighed, "I thought I could still get together with you. After so many years of separation, the next time we meet, Wen Zhong and Xiao Hui might even have a child."
Kui Wen Zhong remained silent, thinking that it shouldn't be that exaggerated.
"The ten-year agreement with the old master is getting closer and closer, so it's better to make plans early." Xiaomei said, "The Bian Ling is my eldest sister's man. Xiaofeng and I are from the same clan as my eldest sister. It's hard for us sisters to bear the consequences of attacking my eldest sister."
"Shadow and I have been following Big Sister for a long time. To put it bluntly, even if we don't follow Cunxi now, we will never follow the old master. If we really come to a head-on confrontation, Shadow and I may not be able to do anything to Big Sister."
Thinking of the years when he followed Xiao Qingfang in battles and experienced life and death, Mo Ling lost his appetite.
Even though he surrendered to Li Cunxi, he still couldn't let go of the arrogant Xiao Qingfang.
Not only him, but also Shadow.
Among the many brothers of the Snake Spirit, not many can choose their own master, but among them they are clearly divided.
Like the three people of Demon Spirit, Shadow and Spirit, and the determined Xiao Qingfang faction.
Hu Jinghui is probably a follower of the deceased Li Qingxia and does not belong to any faction.
The Xueling sisters were raised by Yuan Tiangang, but they are members of Xiao Qingfang's clan, so they can be considered to have taken care of both sides.
But Kui Wenzhong was different, he was a steadfast member of Yuan Tiangang’s faction… before Li Cunxi appeared.
Kui Wenzhong put down the bowl in his hand and smiled coldly:
"I don't have a good impression of Xiao Qingfang. If there really comes a day when we have to fight to the death, you all should get out of the way. I will kill Xiao Qingfang myself and pave the way for my brother."
"If the old master is unwilling to surrender to my brother at that time... Mo Ling and Shadow should not stand idly by. You two should quietly lead the old master to some ravine and push him down."
The soup that the demon spirit had just drunk was sprayed out directly, splashing all over the face of Kui Wenzhong opposite him.
Xiaohui quickly took out a towel to wipe Kui Wenzhong's face, then turned around and glared at Yingzi again.
"Shadow, what are you doing? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Aren't you afraid that Wen Zhong will cut dozens of wounds on you?"
Mo Ling knew he had lost his temper and apologized, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold it back. When I heard Wen Zhong ask me and Yingzi to push the old master into the ditch and kill him, I couldn't help it."
Kui Wenzhong remained calm and glanced at the evil spirit.
"For my brother, I would be willing to push the old master into the river, not to mention the ditch!"
"If I can't be killed by falling into the ditch, and can't be drowned by being pushed into the river, I will push the old master off the cliff. In any case, I can't let the old master ruin my brother's plan. For my brother, I have to fight."
The demon gave a thumbs up.
"The old master is really honored to have a supporter like you."
……
In the evening, Mo Ling brought his inner guards to Xunyang County, successfully met Li Cunxi in the governor's mansion, and met with Fenghuang.
The families of the former six thieves of Xunyang River will be executed in two days. The inner guards under Mo Ling must be present no matter what, and cooperate with the inner guards under Fenghuang and the garrison troops of Xunyang County to ensure that no one will come to disturb them on the day of the execution.
After Mo Ling's inner guards were integrated with Fenghuang's inner guards, he found Li Cunxi, who was drinking tea silently, and handed Li Cunxi a letter that Kui Wenzhong had written before leaving.
"Li Shaoyin... No, Master, this is what the master asked me to give to you. He left with his wife and your wife this afternoon. It is said that they are all going to do their own things."
"The old master's ten-year deadline is getting closer and closer. It will be difficult for you to take control of the entire Snake Spirit. They need to go back and help you integrate the entire Snake Spirit and try their best to win over those who can be won over."
“So, they left.”
Li Cunxi held the two letters with his slender fingers, his expression dull, and remained silent for a very long time.
Finally, he shook his head and said as he opened the envelope:
"In fact, you don't have to call me that. You are not my retainer, nor my slave. You are my partner, a fellow follower of mine."
"From now on, you can either call me Cunxi, or call me Zezhou, or you can call me Li Shaoyin."
"The names 'Master' and 'Grand Master' sound too old-fashioned. I'm afraid my brother is not even as old as you, right?"
The demon spirit chuckled and replied:
"Then I'll be welcome, Cunxi."
Li Cunxi nodded and smiled.
The envelope in his hand had been opened, and Kui Wenzhong's vigorous and strong handwriting appeared in Li Cunxi's sight.
It was obvious that this letter was written by the seventh brother Kui Wenzhong. When he was young, he followed several calligraphy masters in the mansion. However, when he was halfway through his studies, a disaster happened in his family. Later, he was raised by Yuan Tiangang, and he also practiced calligraphy in Dayang Mountain.
Perhaps because he was a scholar turned assassin, Kui Wenzhong's handwriting was comparable to Ma Rong's. He wrote for the purpose of self-cultivation, so that he could remain calm after killing someone and not be delayed in doing other things.
"Old Eight, it's nice to see you.
We are sorry to say goodbye to you in this way, but there is nothing we can do.
As your brother, I don't want to see you crying before leaving.
Of course, you won't show this expression, so if I don't see you crying before I leave, what's the point of me saying goodbye to you?"
